Following the Closing, Seller and LMP (jointly and severally with Seller) will indemnify and hold Buyer, its affiliates, managers, members, officers, and directors harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from: (i) any misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any agreement on the part of Seller or LMP under this Agreement; (ii) any misrepresentation in or occasioned by any certificate, document, or other instrument or to be furnished by Seller or LMP in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) the ownership, management, and operations of the Dealership or the Assets prior to the Closing Date; (iv) any misrepresentation, inaccuracy, or failure of any representation or warranty of Seller; (v) the Excluded Liabilities; (vi) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incident to any of the foregoing or incurred in investigating or attempting to void the same or to oppose the imposition thereof or in enforcing this indemnity, and (vii) any audits, including warranty audits, for sales, service and business operations of Seller arising or accruing prior the Closing Date.

(d) Limitations. No claim may be made for indemnification in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty unless notice of such claim is delivered in writing prior to the expiration of the survival of the representation or warranty that is the subject of such claim. Each party shall have the right to bring an action against the other on the breach of a representation or warranty hereunder, but only if the party bringing the action for breach gives written notice of such breach to the other party before the end of the Survival Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnification shall be required to be made under Section 12(c) for a misrepresentation or breach of a warranty hereof in respect of any Loss unless, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of the Buyer’s Group Global Losses exceeds $50,000; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any Loss with respect to intentional misconduct or fraud. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnification shall be required to be made under Section 12(b) for a misrepresentation or breach of a warranty hereof in respect of any Loss unless, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of the Seller’s Group Global Losses exceeds $50,000. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller and LMP shall not have any liability whatsoever under Section 12(c) for a misrepresentation or breach of a warranty hereof in respect of any Loss of any amount by which the Losses payable by the Seller and LMP shall, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Seller’s Group Global Cap of $2,500,000. For the purposes of applying the foregoing liability limitations, amounts paid by Seller, LMP and Seller’s affiliates shall be aggregated. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing limitation on liability shall not apply to any Losses arising or resulting from intentional misconduct or fraud of the Seller, or LMP or their affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Buyer’s Group Global Losses” shall mean the cumulative Losses of Buyer and Buyer’s affiliates who purchase any of the Subject LMP Dealerships as provided for under their Dealership Asset Purchase Agreements with Seller or Seller’s affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Seller’s Group Global Losses” shall mean the cumulative Losses of Seller and Seller’s affiliates who sell any of the Subject LMP Dealerships as provided for under their Dealership Asset Purchase Agreements with Buyer or Buyer’s affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Seller’s Group Global Cap” shall mean the cumulative liability of LMP, Seller and Seller’s affiliates for Losses to Buyer and Buyer’s affiliates (excluding Losses arising or resulting from intentional misconduct or fraud) under their Dealership Asset Purchase Agreements for any of the Subject LMP Dealerships.

(e) Matters Involving Third Parties.

(i) To be entitled to such indemnification, the party claiming indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) will give the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of the assertion by a third party of any claim with respect to which the Indemnified Party might bring a claim for indemnification hereunder (“Third Party Claim”), and in all events must have supplied such notice to the Indemnifying Party within the applicable period for defense of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to give prompt written notice as prescribed above will not preclude indemnification so long as such failure does not prejudice the Indemnifying Party’s defense against such claim.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such action, proceeding or claim, and, if (i) the action, proceeding or claim involved seeks (and continues to seek) solely monetary damages, environmental remediation or relates to any liability for taxes, (ii) the Indemnifying Party confirms, in writing, its obligation hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party with respect to such damages in their entirety, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, will be able to satisfy any adverse judgment as a result of its indemnification obligation with respect to such action, proceeding or claim, then the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume and control such defense with counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate therein after such assumption, the costs of such participation following such assumption to be at its own expense. Upon assuming such defense, the Indemnifying Party will have full rights to enter into any monetary compromise or settlement which is dispositive of the matters involved; provided, that such settlement is paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and will not have any direct or indirect adverse effect upon the Indemnified Party.

(iii) With respect to any action, proceeding or claim as to which (i) the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to assume the defense or (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not have exercised its right to assume the defense, the Indemnified Party will assume and control the defense of and contest such action, proceeding or claim with counsel chosen by it and approved by the Indemnifying Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, proceeding or claim, the cost of such participation to be at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party will be obligated to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may not settle such action, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(iv) Both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will cooperate fully with one another in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any such action, proceeding or claim, including, without limitation, by making available to the other all pertinent information and witnesses within its control.

(f) Procedures for Indemnification - Other Claims. A claim for indemnification relating to a breach of a warranty or representation for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim must be asserted by notice to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party on or before the expiration of the Survival Period. The Indemnifying Party will have the obligation to eliminate or mitigate its indemnification obligation under this Agreement by affecting a cure of any breach of this Agreement not related to any Third-Party Claim (including any document, certificate, instrument or agreement to be executed and/or delivered under this Agreement), if susceptible of cure, within thirty (30) days after any such notice. The Indemnifying Party will pay any uncured indemnification claim and any claim that is not capable of cure that is undisputed promptly after such notice and failure to cure. The Indemnifying Party will promptly pay any other indemnification claim upon resolution by an agreement with the Indemnified Party or upon a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. All claims for indemnification as to a breach of a representation or warranty will survive as to any claim or demand made on or before the expiration of the Survival Period until such claim or demand is fully paid or otherwise resolved by the parties hereto in writing or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) Seller’s Security for Indemnification Claims. To secure the indemnity obligations of Seller and LMP under this Section 12. for claims made by Buyer and claims of Buyer’s affiliates for indemnification under their Dealership Asset Purchase Agreements and underlying Real Estate Purchase Agreements with Seller’s affiliates within 24 months of the Closing Date of the first transaction that closes under the Dealership Asset Purchase Agreements being executed simultaneously herewith; the Parties and their affiliates who sell and purchase any of the Subject LMP Dealerships shall enter into an Indemnity Escrow Agreement with Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, PA, as the “Indemnity Escrow Agent”. Seller and Seller’s affiliates shall fund the Holdback Amount under the Indemnity Escrow Agreement in full upon the Closing Date of the first transaction that closes under the Dealership Asset Purchase Agreements being executed simultaneously herewith. The form of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement is attached as Exhibit C .

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12, all payments by the Seller or LMP to Buyer pursuant to this Section 12 shall be satisfied first from the Indemnity Escrow Funds (to the extent the Indemnity Escrow Funds are sufficient, and then, subject to the limitations herein, the Seller and or LMP shall pay any excess due hereunder directly) and the Buyer and the Seller and their affiliates shall execute the necessary documents instructing the Indemnity Escrow Agent to make the applicable payments.

(ii) On the first year anniversary following the Closing Date, an amount equal to 50% of the total Indemnity Escrow Funds originally funded to the Indemnity Escrow Agent minus the amount of claims paid by the Indemnity Escrow Agent, and minus the aggregate outstanding amount, if any, which Buyer or any of Buyer’s affiliates has claimed for indemnification on or prior to such date shall be released to the Seller, LMP and or Seller’s affiliates on such date (if such number is positive), and the Buyer and the Seller and their affiliates shall execute the necessary documents instructing the Escrow Agent to make the applicable payment.

(iii) On the second year anniversary following the Closing Date, an amount equal to the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Funds minus the aggregate outstanding amount, if any, which Buyer or any of Buyer’s affiliates has claimed for indemnification on or prior to such date (any such claim, a “Remaining Indemnity Claim”) shall be released to the Seller, LMP and or Seller’s affiliates on such date, and the Buyer and the Seller shall execute the necessary documents instructing the Escrow Agent to make the applicable payment. Following the final resolution of any Remaining Indemnity Claim, if the Indemnity Escrow Funds exceed the aggregate amount, if any, which any of Buyer or Buyer’s affiliates has claimed under Section 12 or under any of their Dealership Asset Purchase Agreements with respect to Remaining Indemnity Claims that remain unresolved, the excess Indemnity Escrow Funds shall be released to the Seller, Seller’s affiliates or LMP on such date, and the Buyer and the Seller and their affiliates shall execute the necessary documents instructing the Escrow Agent to make the applicable payment.

13. Miscellaneous.

(a) Transaction & Enforcement Costs. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including legal and accounting fees, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall pay such costs and expenses whether or not the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any litigation between or among the Parties to enforce any provisions or rights hereunder, the unsuccessful Party, as determined by a final judgment, shall pay to the successful Party therein all costs and expenses of such Party (and any of such Party’s agents, such as attorneys or accountants) expressly including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred therein by such successful Party, which costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees will be included in and as a part of any judgment rendered in such litigation.

(b) Confidentiality.

(f) Interpretation & Administration. The words “include”, “includes”, “included”, “including” and “such as” do not limit the preceding words or terms and are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The Parties have a duty of good faith and fair dealing. All captions and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not be construed to limit or extend the terms or conditions of this Agreement. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require. All terms defined in this Agreement in their singular or plural forms, have correlative meanings when used herein in their plural or singular forms, respectively. Each Party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and the rule of construction that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafter will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits hereto.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and delivered by e-mail or facsimile, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their successors and assigns. Buyer may assign or otherwise transfer all of Buyer’s rights, obligations and benefits hereunder to any entity owned or controlled by, or under common control with, Buyer without Seller’s consent. The invalidity of any one or more phrases, sentences, clauses, paragraphs, or sections of this Agreement will not affect the remaining portions of this Agreement. No failure or delay by any Party to enforce any right specified herein will operate as a waiver of such right, nor will any single partial exercise of a right preclude any further or later enforcement of the right. A business day shall mean Monday through Friday, excluding federal and national holidays or State of Florida holidays. The term “material” shall mean an amount which would involve an expenditure, liability or damages in excess of $50,000.00.

Upon a party’s request at any time, the other party shall take any act, including executing and delivering any document, necessary or advisable to otherwise to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

(h) Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent’s duties pursuant to this Agreement are purely ministerial in nature, and the Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever except for its willful misconduct or gross negligence, so long as the Escrow Agent is acting in good faith. The Parties hereby release the Escrow Agent from any liability for any error of judgment or for any act done or omitted to be done by the Escrow Agent in the good faith performance of its duties hereunder and do each hereby indemnify the Escrow Agent against, and shall hold, save, and defend the Escrow Agent harmless from, any costs, liabilities, and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in serving as Escrow Agent hereunder and in faithfully discharging its duties and obligations hereunder. The Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. If there is any dispute as to whether the Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Deposit or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, the Escrow Agent may refuse to make any delivery and may continue to hold the Deposit until receipt by the Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by Seller and Buyer, directing the disposition of the Deposit, or, in the absence of such written authorization, the Escrow Agent may hold the Deposit until a final non appealable determination of the rights of the Parties in an appropriate judicial proceeding. If such written authorization is not given, or a proceeding for such determination is not begun, within thirty (30) days after notice to the Escrow Agent of such dispute, the Escrow Agent may bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction pending such determination. The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, by the Party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit. Upon making delivery of the Deposit in any of the manners herein provided, the Escrow Agent shall have no further liability or obligation hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall execute the Escrow Receipt attached hereto in order to confirm that it has received the Deposit and is holding the same on deposit in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Each Party consents to service of process at such Party’s address as provided herein (and updated in writing from time to time).

(j) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
